Pours an opaque black with a large light brown head. Nose is coffee and chocolate. Very creamy on the palate. Taste is very full and robust- coffee, chocolate, caramel and malt. One of the best Porters Iíve ever enjoyed and one of Tyranenaís best offerings. This hearty ale is an excellent companion to brats, burgers or any red meat off the grill.

This poured out as a great solid dark, leathery brownish black color with slivers of dark, ruby red highlights. A finger high head was produced of creamy, tannish foam that faded slowly leaving a thin haze on top with slight patchy lace. Smell is quite nice, although its a bit faint, but whats there is a sweetish, coffeeish aroma with some hop notes near the back. Taste is a mild, lightly earthy and deep, slightly burnt roasted malt in flavor with a hint of coffee and cocoa, and is sweetly smooth the whole way through with caramel notes lingering. Nothing really stands out to much in the flavors, its solid mildness is quite nice though with a solid medium, nearly heavy body and has a nice, slightly bittering tangyness, that gets carefully dry in the finish. Leaves a weird cottonmouth effect, which I actually find appealing. Another fine brew by Tyranena

Pours a nice dark color,with a tan head that disappeared rather quickly.Nice Coffee/burnt roast aroma with a hint of chocolate.Nice coffee taste,but a little thin on the body,but still a excellent porter!

Hey, thatís some good stuff. I think we all owe it to old Black Hawk to drink our fill of a beer named in his honor. Itís nice to see Wisconsin paying some respect back to the man who gave it all to us.

Slightly phenolic with hints of coffee. Appears black, but hold it up to a light and it has some red hues around the edges. Slightly acrid with a coffee roast/bittnerness that comes through. Just enough malt sweetness and dryness to make you want another sip.

A very incredible dark beer. Sweet with a light grain aroma and a perfect mouthfeel For the ABV this is what you want out of a beer such as this. Thick creamy sweet dark grain. Wow Home run session ALE!
